Built for astronomers who demand precision and clarity, the Explore Scientific ED165-FPL53 Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor delivers unmatched optical performance. Featuring a 165mm aperture and a true apochromatic triplet design, this telescope uses premium OHARA FPL-53 extra-low dispersion glass to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration. Combined with advanced EMD multi-layer coatings, it produces crisp, high-contrast images of the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. Its robust 3" hexagonal focuser supports heavy imaging gear, while the integrated dew shield and TSA-approved hard case make it field-ready and travel-friendly.
